Chapter 1162: Military Rank Blood Equipnt
Translator: Sean88888 Editor: Elkassar1
All the Blood Guards were elite human beings with very strong personal fighting ability and were fearless of death, but in such a narrow space, facing such high-density shots from such powerful weapons, the outco was inevitable.
The room was instantly filled with bodily pieces and remains! It was an extrely bloody sight. Even the walls were covered in blood!
Backed by the montum from the massacre he had just committed, Prince Pombaru nonchalantly filed his fingernails as he said, “I want all the Pi elent ingots Seaman brought back. The Big Ben Research Institute will purchase as many as he had to sell. Mungo, you’re in charge of the discussion. I’m only interested in the result.”
Then, Prince Pombaru stared at Sheyan in a threatening way.
“Rember this, contestant. According to the agreent between the Empire and the Nightmare Realms, you have the right to refuse to sell us anything, but if you do sell, the buyer can only be us! Anyone who dares to go against my words will beco an enemy of the Empire!”
Hearing such an aggressive declaration, a feeling of arrogance rose uncontrollably in Sheyan’s heart. He smirked coldly. But at that mont, he suddenly recalled an event and a remark.
The event he recalled was the illusion he saw when he fought against the one who called himself The Fool on planet Uplos….Was it an illusion, or the deepest secret in his heart?
The remark he recalled was the dying words of the skull helt Barbarian test subject: “You must go to the Big Ben Research Institute! Inside…is…is…your…your….”
Well, wasn’t this Prince Pombaru in front of him an important mber of the Big Ben Research Institute?
When Sheyan thought of this, he imdiately cald down. He saluted Prince Pombaru and said, “Your will is my command, Your Highness.”
Prince Pombaru grunted and turned towards the old man, General Venus.
“Do you really believe that nobody knows what you people are doing behind our backs? It’s not that you’re handling everything faultlessly; Father is just remaining rciful for now!”
Prince Pombaru’s projection disappeared after that. Sheyan noticed a very important detail from this episode – although the prince showed domineering authority and announced his arrival with a bloody slaughter, he had only killed the Blood Guards.
Major General Fiji was arguably the most important person here of those going against Pombaru, but Pombaru did not touch him! It could be seen from this that the prince’s imposing attitude and arrogance were just sothing he wore on the surface. He clearly knew what could be done, and what could not.
From this, Sheyan inferred that not only were there rebels outside this huge interstellar Empire, there were also clear signs of power split within it. The lives of the people at the bottom were also divided into distinct social classes. Although no complaints were heard, it was probably because no one dared to voice them.
If this went on, the rebels did not even need to defeat the Empire in a war. They only needed to survive and continue to exert pressure on the Empire. Sheyan believed that disaster would surely descend upon the Empire in the near future!
After Pombaru cut off his communication, Ronnie went over to Sheyan again to persuade Sheyan to sell his Pi elent ingots to General Venus. Ronnie guaranteed that the price they offered would be higher than that offered by the prince. Ronnie was obviously doing this under the request of Major General Fiji, who was completely ignoring the prince’s words. It could be inferred from this that the profit that could be made from Pi elent was indeed huge, and that the authority of the imperial family was virtually nonexistent in this remote battlefield at the border.
This kind of thing was common throughout human history, or else, why would there be so many cases of powerful generals in far off places rebelling against their monarchs? Moreover, Prince Pombaru was only a prince. Sure, the old man may have to bow his head down in front of the prince, but was he really subservient to the prince deep down inside? Of course not!
However, Sheyan had great plans for the Pi elent ingots. He had already decided to use them to knock open the door of Pombaru and the Big Ben Research Institute. Therefore, as long as Lieutenant General Mungo’s price was not too ridiculous, Sheyan was even prepared to tolerate a bit of losses.
But this man Mungo was not a short-sighted fellow. Although Pi elent ingots were virtually useless for contestants like Sheyan, if Mungo was too demanding, Sheyan could very well choose not to sell them.
That would not do anyone any good. Besides, if Sheyan leaked out the news that he had high-purity Pi elent in his hands, people in the empire would probably flock to him like flies flocking to blood.
So, Lieutenant General Mungo was very frank with Sheyan. He told Sheyan that the Nightmare Realms often needed so strange things, and these things were often the special products of certain star regions. If he had these special products, he could trade them for different privileges with his Nightmare Realm.
The Androda constellation, for example, produced a type of plant called the Windgrain Wood. A contestant could use the Windgrain Wood to trade for the privilege of free attribute points with a Nightmare Realm! Therefore, if Sheyan were to make a deal with a high-ranking officer from the Androda constellation, the main part of the transaction price would be free attribute points.
The star region which General Venus was in command of contained a type of rare tal called Titanium Silver, which was also a product the Nightmare Realms needed. By dealing with General Venus, Sheyan could get the new type of honorary dosage that could increase maximum HP by 1500 points. That was why the price which the old man nad contained the new honorary dosage as a key component. Of course, it also ant that he could not offer any free attribute points.
After listening to Lieutenant General Mungo’s explanation, Sheyan expressed his understanding and asked Mungo to make his offer. But when Sheyan saw what Mungo listed out, he was instantly enraged.
The first item in Lieutenant General Mungo’s offer was sowhat similar to that offered by the old man.
1) The achievent points required for the next promotion would be reduced by 60%.
2) Sheyan would obtain a high-rank Blood Equipnt corresponding to his military rank.
And that was all! That was everything he offered!
‘Do I look like an idiot to you?’ thought Sheyan. He did not speak and rely looked at Mungo with cold contempt, waiting for the Lieutenant General to give him a reasonable explanation.
Seeing Sheyan’s expression, Mungo knew that there must be a misunderstanding, so he imdiately explained, “It seems that you haven’t realised how rare a high-rank Blood Equipnt is. You must know that besides the Big Ben Research Institute, no one else can offer this.”
Sheyan snorted in disdain. “Is that so? Then why did I hear from Ronnie that his offer included a custom-made Blood Weapon?”
Lieutenant General Mungo could only explain patiently, “That should be referring to an ordinary Blood Equipnt.”
“There’s a higher level of Blood Equipnt?” asked Sheyan.
Lieutenant General Mungo laughed wryly. “There is. You’re still a Growth Hunter, so you probably haven’t taken part in any high-intensity wars yet. It’s small wonder that you don’t know about this secret. Anyway, since I’m not restricted by your Nightmare Realm, let give you a brief explanation.”
“Blood Equipnt is divided into two categories. Since contestants who hold reserve-duty positions occupy the majority, the so-called individual piece Blood Equipnt are mainly prepared for this group. The price of an individual piece Blood Equipnt varies from low to high. The properties of the more expensive individual piece Blood Equipnt aren’t weak, but individual piece Blood Equipnt has obvious limitations, such as a 50% reduction in damage against non-contestants, and they very rarely have top-class properties. That’s why they don’t perform that well in battles in the parallel worlds, and the requirents to purchase them aren’t very high.”
When he listened to Lieutenant General Mungo’s explanation, Sheyan imdiately thought of Zeus’ right hand man whom he killed, Tolui Helenite, and the weapon the guy dropped, ‘All-Conquering Might’. According to Zi, the weapon could only be traded for by contestants who had reached the ranks of General-grade officers. He had a vague idea what Lieutenant General Mungo would say next.
“Besides individual piece Blood Equipnt, there are also of course standardised Blood Equipnt that are produced according to a contestant’s official military rank. For example, a Major General contestant can acquire an equipnt made specifically for Major Generals. The higher one’s military rank, the stronger the Blood Equipnt!”
Lieutenant General Mungo took a sip of water before he continued, “The custom-tailored Blood Weapon for Ronnie is in fact just a powerful individual piece Blood Equipnt. Sure, he can choose to attach the most desirable properties possible for an ordinary individual piece Blood Equipnt to the weapon, but the high-rank Blood Equipnt we’re offering you is powerful equipnt that only those of your current rank have the qualification to possess! If you trade with us, you’ll obtain a Colonel-rank Blood Equipnt with extrely powerful military-rank properties! Properties that will never appear in Blood Equipnt below Colonel-rank!”
Sheyan pondered on it with his brows deeply furrowed.
“I admit, it doesn’t sound too bad.”
He had largely understood the difference between individual piece Blood Equipnt and military-rank Blood Equipnt. The forr was like local bandits. Sotis, a deadly sharpshooter would appear among the local bandits, but they would never have fighter jets and heavy artillery. The latter was like the official army. Although the rank was strict, but the higher the rank, the stronger it would be. With every upgrade in rank, the equipnt would possess unique abilities which the equipnt below it would not have.
“Can I see what kind of Blood Equipnt I can get?” asked Sheyan.
Lieutenant General Mungo nodded. “Of course. Please wait a minute while I contact Big Ben Research Institute and let them send the information over.”
The list appeared in front of Sheyan not long afterwards. After the first glance, he could barely stop his heart from beating wildly. What he saw was an equipnt nad the ‘Colonel’s Blood Boots’. The first property of the boots was “All attributes 15”!!
